Please join me in congratulating these winning teams. All of the participating teams deserve praise as they took on this extra challenge. Third years should note that the winning team participated last year, and I would think that this may have given them a slight advantage. The ASHP answer sheet is attached, so that you can see how your team performed on this challenging case.

Each winning team will receive a certificate from the School and a cash prize from the Student Chapter of ASHP.
Cash Prizes (per person):

Volunteers needed to help with flu shots (P-1,2,3,4): As most of you are aware, for the second consecutive year, the HSC VP's office has purchased flu vaccine to give to HSC students, staff, and faculty. Student Health staff has been given the task of organizing and administering these 2,500 doses. Last year we utilized many volunteers from the School of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Dental Hygiene, Exercise Physiology, etc., and we are trying to organize it similarly this year. The Flu vaccine will be administered in the John Jones Conference area on Thursday, November 9 from 1pm-7pm and on Monday, November 13 from 7am-3pm. I'm hoping you will be able to assist me by getting the word out to your particular students and staff-- any block of time would be appreciated. Anyone interested, or with any questions, can contact me, Sue Turnbull,RN, at Student Health via email sturnbull@hsc.wvu.edu or by phone @ 293-6245.Thanks for everyone's help--stay healthy!
